Description

United Through Reading is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit organization founded 30 years ago. UTR’s mission is to unite military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud. At more than 200 recording locations worldwide, service members can read to the children who are special to them on military bases and outposts, deployed U.S. Navy ships, U.S. Coast Guard cutters, at select Armed Services YMCAs and VA in-patient clinics, and now on their mobile device with the new, free United Through Reading app. Since its inception, more than 2.4 million military parents, spouses, and children have benefited from the program.
